During the latter part of this period,
early in 1886, my physician said:
MILLER, there's 40 use in my taking
any more money YOU, | cam do you
any good mig pour pounds Of qui-
uine down your throat and it wouldn't
help you.
On the strengtl, of this I gave up the
use OF quinine IL t@hrr, apd made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks afterwards-about the
last of Nlay-'ny wife saw an advertise

She told me OF it. | said: Stuff and
nonsensei it can t do me any good"
But she went to q druggists neyerthe-
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against kG~' inc: lie said it was
nothing but sE.;.': that she ought not
to throw away her money on it, &c.
He said he didn't keep il, bat could get
it if she insisted Dn having it. Turn

Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, l began taking it. In
